Complete Nought to Nine Bundle in Solid Pine

A bundle drawn around one stage of childhood rather than around one room, the whole childhood, bought once. Everything in it works together and everything in it upgrades into the next bundle rather than being replaced.

Children's furniture has a short life and an expensive one, and most of that is avoidable. The pieces here are drawn to a single height ladder so a table, a chair and a shelf bought two years apart still work together, and most of them adjust or convert rather than being replaced. Where a piece genuinely cannot grow, we say so on this page rather than in the returns policy, and we tell you what it becomes instead, which is usually a piece of furniture for a younger sibling or a resale that holds most of its value.

Assembly and safety

Flat packed with a hex key and printed instructions. An anti tip restraint is in the box and it is not optional on this piece. Furniture tip overs injure a serious number of small children every year in this country and every one of them is preventable with two screws. If you cannot drill the wall, tell us and we will send the freestanding ballast kit instead at no charge.

How long it lasts

This adjusts as the child grows rather than being outgrown. The heights are on the same ladder as the rest of the range, so a table set for a two year old today lines up with a chair bought for a five year old in three years, and the adjustment takes one adult about five minutes with the hex key that came in the box.
